PANELLISTS & SPEAKERS
Held every year in the last week of November, UPD has, since 2015, brought together India’s leading urban thinkers and practitioners to reflect on the state of the urban and the policy agenda needed to realise the rich development possibilities that the country’s urbanisation presents. The past eight editions of the UPD have informed several national and state-level policy stances, which in turn, have gone on to shape the country’s urbanisation.
